Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed. April 1, 1903. Serial N0. 424,514:

Patented Jan. 19, 1909.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Osman IIAUUE, a subject of the King of Norway, who have declared my intention to become a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Paul, in the county of Ramsey and State of Minnesota, have invented a new and useful Trimmer for Pastry-Cones, of. which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to devices for trimming baked pastry cones of the kind in which ice cream is sold and eaten; and the object is to provide an eilicient and as to size adjustable device for said purpose.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a partly sectional side elevation of my pastry cone trinnner secured upon a table or bench. Fig. 2 is a front end elevationof the device or a left hand end View of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a detail front elevation of the cutter head modified. Fig. 4 is an enlarged perspective view of the cutter in Fig. 3. Figs. 5 and 6 are cores of different sizes for holding pastry cones of different sizes while they are being trimmed.

Referring to the drawing by reference numerals, 1 designates a table or bench upon which is secured by bolts 2 or by a clamp (not shown) a metal frame 3 having two bearings i and 5, in which slides a shaft- 6 llaving a longitudinal groove 7 guided by the point of a screw 8 in the rear hearing so as to prevent turning of the shaft. 9 is a screwfast u1cd collar on the shaft to limit The shaft is at encircling it and having its tension regulated by a collar ll and set-screws 12.

Upon the front end of the shaft is removably held by a set screw 13 a conic core l4, which may be of any suitable material but preferably of wood and'is formed with a shoulder 15 near its base.

{The bearing 5 is formed with sleeve 16 upon which is retained by a collar 17 having a set-screw 18, a hollow'cutter head 19, which is formed with a pulley 20 adapted to be driven. by a belt 2i and any suitable source of power. The cutter head is also formed with a cylindrical cavity 22 having a side aperture for a screw driver to reach the screw 18. In the front end of the cavity 22 are renio "ably held by screws 2 several rings or bushings 25, and within the smallest bushing a saw blade 26 bent to a a considerable speed the cones and the core are pressed against the resistance of the light sprmg 10 sufliclently far into the cavity 22 to cause the saw to trnn neatly away the surplus dough 31 which is formed in the molding and baking of the cones. lVhen the trin'uning is done the spring 10 is allowed to push the core forward for the removal of the cones and replacing of other cones to be trimmed. As the cones are made in several sizes I provide each machine with several cores of different sizes as indicated by 14, l iand 14", for exchange on the shaft (5, and when core ii is used the smaller bushing is removed to allow the saw to expand into the larger bushing; and if the core 14 is used, both bushings 25 are removed and the saw is fastened directly to the cutter head so as to make the circle of the saw correspond in size to base of the cone used.

32 indicates that there are special holes for the screws 24- as the saw is expanded.

In the modification shown in Figs. 3 and i, I reduce the saw to a single knife or cut- [or tooth 33 having a slotted shank 34 guided in a radial groove 86 in the face 29 of the cutter head, wherein it is held by a screw passed through the slot 37 so as to make the cutter adj ustableto and from the center of the cutter head.

IV hat I claim is 1. In a trimmer for pastry cones, a frame having a sleeve, a cutter head rotatable on the sleeve and having a central cylindrical cavity in its face, cutting means secured on the head and projecting beyond the face of it, a forwardly spring-pressed shaft sliding but not rotating in the sleeve and having one end projected through the cylindrical cavity, a conic core secured on the end of the shaft in the cavity, means for rotating the cutter head, and means for limiting the forward motion oi the cor: and its shaft.

2. In a trimmer ior pastry cones, a frame having aesleeve, a cutter head rotatable on I :1 central 0:;
